Eagle Raceway 5/26/18


By Greg Soukup

Saturday night was Memorial Day Lucky-Ganza, presented by Great Clips and Pro Rolloffs at Eagle Raceway. It also was Driver Appreciation Night since last week’s action was claimed by Mother Nature. That meant an overflow crowd packed the stands, hungry for some racing action. When you have 163 cars running 15 heats, 4 B Features and 5 A Mains on a track that had been baked by a blazing sun and near 100- degree temperatures you sometimes have conditions that aren’t ideal. But, a little work at intermission had lap times actually lower as the night ended.

In the 4th heat for the ATV Motorsports IMCA Sport Compacts a tire popped on the 32X of Nathan Wahlstrom and the car ended up rolling over a couple times. Then, at the start of the IMCA Racesaver Sprint Car B Feature Ryan King’s 93 ended up flipping in turn 1. Neither driver was seriously injured.

Dion Kovar’s 18, the 25 of Gunnar Pike, Trevor Noonan in the 66 and Hunter Weber’s 99W were the top 4 after the first circuit of the Purdue University IMCA Sport Modified A Feature. Joe Feyen passed Weber on lap 3 to put the 25X into fourth. Feyen moved up to third 2 laps later and on lap 9 advanced to second. Noonan spun in turns 1 & 2 with 8 to go, bringing out the caution. That put the 99RE of Arie Schouten into fourth. Shawn Harker got around Schouten on the restart, putting the 40 into fourth before moving to third the following lap. Harker vaulted into the lead with 4 to go as Lee Horky put his #7 into fourth. Kovar pulled off with 3 circuits remaining, moving Schouten back to fourth. Brock Curtis brought out the final caution of the race when his 18C slowed with 2 to go. The top 4 were Harker, Feyen, Schouten and Horky.

This was Harker’s third win in 4 nights of competition. I asked him what his secret was. Harker said “There’s no secret. I work hard on my stuff, I drive hard, and Eagle just suits my driving style. I make the right changes during the night and that makes the difference. I’ve got a really good team behind me too; one of the best teams you could have in fact, to make the car go and win races every week. I want to thank my wife first. She finally made it out to the races after not wanting to come because he said she was bad luck. That was just a myth, because we proved that we could win here. My son Preston, my dad Al and Jack. They all help me out a lot. Of course, all of my sponsors are what lets us come out and win races”. Harker’s sponsors include Speedway Motors, Johnny Saathoff with Jet Racing, Cole with Lakeside Landscaping, VP Heartland Fuels, Tex Cattle, Kyle Vanouver, D-Sign Shop and Patriot Crane and Rigging.

Tim LaPointe’s 18, the 13T of Tyler Jackson, Brian Lemke in the 28L and Don Hall Jr. were the first 4 back to the flag stand on the initial lap of the Valentino’s ICA Hobby Stock A. Cheyenne Purchase put the 22C into third on lap 2 with Lemke falling to fourth. David Carter passed Lemke on lap 4 to put the 2C into the fourth position. Purchase moved up to second the next time around before Carter passed her on the next circuit Jackson moving up to third and Purchase falling to fourth. Purchase passed Jackson after another lap and Carter overtook LaPointe for the lead. Jeff Ware put the 83 into fourth the next time around and moved up to third after another lap with Jeff Watts grabbing fourth in the 66. Ware advanced to second the following lap. Roy Armstrong’s 6R cracked the top 4 with 6 laps left. Watts stopped at the top of 3 & 4 the following lap and the yellow flag flew. Ware used the restart to move to the lead. The final caution came with 4 to go as a huge pile-up occurred in turn 4, collecting numerous cars. The top 4 all held their spots to the finish with the final showing Ware first, Carter Second, Armstrong third and LaPointe fourth.

Ware, like Harker won his third race out of 4 outings at America’s Home Track. “I don’t know what to say any more. The car is FAST!! That’s what we know right now. We went 3 in a row this weekend for the hat trick. We started in our usual spot, 6th row outside. That’s a long way to go every week. I need to thank Charger Chassis. I think they’re the main reason we’re so good right now. This car is absolutely phenomenal”. Ware’s other sponsors include Dewine Mechanical, Kula Repair T & R Auto Repair and Demon Decals.

The Runner Freight IMCA Modified Main saw Mike Densberger in the 81, the 96 of Jaxon Saathoff, Dan Nelson’s 94 and th3 30 of Jordan Grabouski lead the initial circuit. Justin Wulf’s 86 and the 3T of Nate Thompson spun in turn 2 on lap 2. Nelson moved to second on the restart. Mike Lineberry’s 72 and the 5S of Bob Zoubek looped it in turn 4 the next lap. Grabouski advanced to third on the restart and moved up to second 2 laps later. Debris was spotted on the track the next time around. With 13 circuits remaining Johnny Saathoff put the 96J into fourth, losing the spot to the 21H of Shane Hiatt 2 laps later. Grabouski snagged the lead with 8 left. Jared Deterding looped the 13J in turn 2 with 6 to go. The final change in the top 4 came with 4 laps left as Hiatt moved to third. That made the final top 4 Grabouski, Densberger, Hiatt and Nelson.

I kidded Grabouski that for a non-regular he was there an awful lot. “We love coming up here and having fun! We’ve been keeping it in one piece so far, and the car’s been working really good. It’s always so much fun to come up here; especially when there’s so many people in the stands like tonight. It’s great to see all of the fans, all of the kids showing their support for Eagle Raceway: stated Grabouski.

The ATV Motorsports IMCA Sport Compact finale saw Jeff Creek’s 18X lead lap 1 followed by Kyle Grobeck’s 42G, the 16W of Bryce Walker and the 3T of Trenten Fugett. Fugett moved up to third on lap 2. A car spun in turn 3 on lap 3, slowing the action. Nick Lindblad put the 26 into fourth on the restart. With 11 laps left Drake Bohlmeyer put the 24 into third as Lindblad held onto fourth. Zach Bohlmeyer passed Lindblad 2 laps later, putting the 24Z into fourth. Zach Bohlmeyer moved up to third with 7 to go. Walker’s racer stopped at the top of turn 2 with 2 laps remaining. Zach Bohlmeyer moved to second on the restart, Drake Bohlmeyer held third and Lindblad moved back to fourth. At the end it was Creek, Zach Bohlmeyer, Drake Bohlmeyer and Lindblad.

This was Creek’s first Eagle Raceway victory in his first year back after taking a while away from racing. He related “I really like Eagle. It’s a great place to race. I want to thank Ideus Tree Service, Brian Hutchison Roofing, Arbor State Pharmacy and Fester’s Bait and Tackle. A big thank you to Dillon Richards and Levi and Meghan Fralin”.

The IMCA Racesaver Sprint Car finale saw Mark Pace the first back to the flag stand in his 40X, Doug Lovegrove’s 1 second, Mike Boston third in the 51 and Gene Ackland’s 14G fourth. Joey Danley passed Ackland on lap 2 in the 14. Boston moved up to second on lap 11 and Danley followed him into third with Toby Chapman putting the #7 into fourth. Trey Gropp looped the 54 in turn 4 on lap 13. Danley and Chapman both passed Boston with 9 to go. Danny Nekolite spun out in turns 3 & 4 with 4 to go, slowing the action for a final time. From there to the checkers Pace extended his lead with the final top 4 being Pace, Danley, Chapman and Boston.

One of the true joys in my position is being able to interview drivers who are over the moon happy after finally getting their first victory at Eagle Raceway, and tonight with Pace was a prime example. Although he spent a number of years in the 360 division at Eagle, he had never managed to snag a victory. He has spent quite a few years away from the sport but proved tonight that he still had the knack. “The last time I was here was 2 years ago for the Racesaver Nationals. I started 25th and got up to ninth, winning the hard charger. That’s the last time I was in a sprinter” he said. I asked what prompted him to come back to racing at Eagle. He stated “These guys (The Bogues) wouldn’t let me not come back. They told me ‘You’re our driver’, so I came back into town just for this. I’m loving life right now; this is unbelievable. It’s been a long time in the making. 2006 is when I started racing 360’s, and I was close so many times. So many seconds, so many thirds and so many wrecked race cars. Now we parked it tonight on the front stretch, finally! I love a dry-slick race track like we had tonight. Whenever a track takes rubber I always smell it first and get right into it. It makes you a driver! I also like a heavy track where it’s elbows up, but this kind of track is more technique. I can’t thank the Bogues enough for giving me the chance to step back into a sprint car, and they gave me a great one for sure”. Pace’s sponsors include Husker Lock and Key, Harris Decals, Penelope’s ‘Lil CafĂ©, Vogt Poured Walls, Randy’s Road House, Conklin and Benton Foundations.

Following the regular features Pro Roloffs put on a special match race. The top 2 in points in all 5 of the regular weekly classes of cars raced for a top prize of $1,000. The racing was handicapped by the number of laps they had to run. The ATV Motorsports IMCA Sport Compacts had to run 11 laps, the Valentino’s IMCA Hobby Stocks ran 12 laps, The Purdue University IMCA Sport Modifieds raced 13 laps, the Runner Freight IMCA Modifieds had to make 14 circuits and the IMCA Racesaver Sprints had to complete 15 laps. All the cars competed at the same time, navigating the same traffic. Zach Bohlemeyer’s 24Z Sport Compact took home the big money, showing that the racers at Eagle Raceway are the best there are!!

Next weekend Hormel presents Double Down Duel. Happy D Klown will be there from 5:30 to 7:30. The 50/50 raffle will benefit the JDRF.

Front gates open at 5:15 with hot laps at 5:30 and racing at 6:30. Adult admission is $10, youths 6-12 are just $5 and children 5 and under are free.

As always it will be IMCA racing with the Racesaver Sprint Cars, Runner Freight Modifieds, Purdue University Sport Modifieds, Valentino’s Hobby Stocks and ATV Motorsports Sport Compacts.

Pit gates open at 4 P.M. with pit passes costing $25.
